According to data from Apartment Insights Washington, rents in the Seattle area rose 8% in the last year to just over $1300/month but fell slightly from Q3 to Q4. 9,551 new apartment units hit the market in 2014, vs. just 5,223 in 2013; we're on track for 12,273 new units in 2015, which should lead to a smaller increase in rents next year along with a moderate increase in vacancy rates.
